what it is to be deprived of such
things, are unlikely ignorant Of the
happiness with which the religious
child turns to nature and revels in the
contemplation of nature and natures
God. The child Of God can truly
drink of the cup of sorrow to its
dregs, yet in the hour Of grief and
pain can lean upon his God. Truly,
this is a happy condition, and when
death shall summon him to that land
where happiness reigns supremely, we
do not see him shrink in terror. All !!
no; but soothed and sustained by an
unfaltering trust, he approaches his
grave like one who wraps the mantle
of his couch about him and lies down
to pleasant dreams. From this, we
infer that happiness, in order to be
complete in this life, must be shrouded
with hope of that life to come.
Truly yours,
Rosa B. WILLIAMS.

earnest worker who will exhibit a
manly courage and patience in enter
ing these new avenues. Twenty-Five
years ago we bad no Negro preachers
in this southland;' to day we have
thousands of intelligent and well paid
preachers doing the work of God.
Twenty-Five years ago we had no
teachers; but why have we preachers
and teachers to-day? Because they
prepared themselves and entered into
the work Ten years from to-day we
will have hundreds of colored doctors
in the South and it will pay better
than preaching or teaching. Fill up the
other callings and the Negro will not
be known, simply as servant and
laborer, but soon he will be skilled in
all the arts and sciences known to
man. The field is open, young men,
go in and make for yourselves what
your Creator intended for you to have.

Our Newspapers.

LuMBERToN, N. G., Aug. 13, 'S7.
Editor Messenger Judging from
the developments of passing events
the casual observer is struck when he
realizes our present status. The null
duplication of newspapers and periodi-
Gals of our own production and ge-
MUS, shows our steady and sure adj
vancement in the betterment of our
intellectual condition and standing.
Newspapers are the media through
which a people are to speak their SEN
timents or herald their grievances to
the public gaze. As the white jour
nails never do, or at least very sell
dom, speak of meritorious or praise
worthy act of colored person, it is
doubly more urgent that colored edi-
tors and journalists should guard with
vigilant concern the worthy and de-
serving of our people at all times and
places. Professional men and women
are springing into life every day, and
on every hand New subjects of
thought are being discussed every day
and hour, which necessitate a higher
standard of thought and more
diffessed degree of intellectual train
ing and culture. A progressive peo-
pie must necessarily be a thoughtful
people, and a thoughtful people must
be reading people, reading peo-
pie must have something to read, and
in their reading their minds must be
lead to and instructed on the most i'm
portant topics of the day. This is the
field of the journalist. There is much
for the colored people to do yet in
order to impress their Importance on
the public mind We should do every
thing to induce our people to embark
into railroad enterprises, banking in
situations, factories, and all such in
dustries among ourselves and under
our own control. These will give
us race prominence, such as will cause
foolish white men of idiotic brain to
cease their foolish pickering about
colored drummers, Georgia school
bills and other silly hobbies INDUCED
by weak-minded men. But | tres

Love and Jealousy at Camp Meeting.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 10 "A
special from Wilmington says that a
cold-blooded murder, prompted by
jealousy, occurred at colored camp
meeting near that town Sunday night.
While many were attentively listening
to the preaching, Others were prone
nading through the pine grove sur
rounding the grounds. Among these
were Fannie Mcdonald and her beau,
Moses Garrett They left the camp
ground about eleven O'Clock, and had
gone but short distance when an
other colored man, named Anthony
Mccormick, former paramount of the
woman, rushed by them and said,
Good evening, ladies and gentle
men, at the same time firing shot
from pistol at Garrett, the ball lodg-
ing in his right side, from the effect
of which he died in the hospital Thurs
day morning. The assassin fed, and
at last accounts had not been appre-
hended.

Happiness.
BACHELOR.

Hr. Editor;-Please allow me to
say to the many readers Of your valu-
able paper that of all conditions in
life. there is none more desirable :han
happiness There is nothing more
simple in its nature, easy in practice,
and more sweet in its consequences.
In order to be considered great in the
eyes of the world certain qualities
and circumstances are essential. For
instance, the lawyer in order to plead
the cause Of his client in such a way
as to excite the sympathy of the
Judge, and the tender mercies of the
jury, he must possess eloquence and
ingenuity Of thought. The warrior
needs courage to face the enemy, the
merchant tact to improve his trade.
But happiness has little to do with the
chances Of trade, or the sublimity of
science, or the confusion of war. It
springs up by careful cultivation in
the pure and honest heart. and blooms
like the flowers If spring. through all
the changing yicissiiudes Of life.
The rich. who possess thousands Of
ready resources, and never imagine

News from the Capital.

RALEIGH, August 19.-North Caro-
lima has no statues Of her distinguished
men IN Statuary Hall at Washington.
For months there has been an argu-
ment as to who shall be thus immor-
talized. Colonel William i. Saun-
ders, Secretary of State, one of the
most erudite men in the State, thinks
John Harvey and Edward Moseley
the men whose memory ought thus to
be honored. Harvey. says Colonel
Saunders, was the central figure in
North Carolina in the troublous times
which eliminated in the war of the
revolution. Some agreement ought
to be speedily reached and the statues
placed where they ought long ago to
have been.
AT Kinston negro named George
Pearson, charged with an attempted
outrage in Onslow country, created a
great deal Of excitement night before
last. He was discovered in Kinston,
and the sheriff attempted to arrest him.
Pearson drew a revolver and tried to
shoot the sheriff, who, after desperate
struggle, got possession of the pistol,
but not until, by accident, Pearson
had been shot in the head.

THE OPEN FIELD.

The whole land and watery world
is a field for the black man the same
as any other man. He has right to
eyery known honorable vocation and
those yet undiscovered. Why COM
plain when the field is SO broad, the
harvest so great and the laborers so
few? Leaders in deeds-not those
who suggest and talk about things
after they are done, but men and
women with original thought, in
vention ideas and prosecuting vim
about them.
If this section of country is being
crowded, the great west and south
west is open and even Africa may be
sought, after our own country is
filed. But there is much to be done
here in the Carolinas yet. The fields
of the west are inviting, but the labor
is neglected here at home. Our boys
and our girls are neglected and we
even neglect ourselves.
Much unnecessary talk has been
done by some white papers about
colored man supposed to be doing
business for white firm of North
Carolina. Putting aside the prejudice
and envy and narrowness of these
white men who condemn a man for
employing help to suit himself, 1t is
another evidence of the colored man s
fitness to do business and the impor-
lance of his going into business for
himself and patrOnizing our ownnnter-
prises. 1t is true it takes money to
start business, but some of our men
have money and others have friends
who are not tainted with that wicked
preiudice that has shown itself in so
many.
y Charlotte wants colored under
taker. A skilled cabinet-maker and
undertaken can make a handsome
living in this coming metropolis. We
have no undertaken here and would
gladly welcome one. We want
colored photographer here; there is
money in it. We want coiored
drug store here and hope to see one in
year or so. We want, and must
have a colored printing Office. We.
want colored lawyer here to write
up wills, mortgages, deeds and look
after titles and take hand in the
legal business here generally.
The field is open. This race and
generation is the most fortunate in
the world. regardless of all the dis
advantages. The rate at which we
are becoming owners of land and
skillful farmers, successful teachers
and preachers, is gratifying, but we
need a return to the trades and an
entering into other vacations What
we need here in this city is needed in
every other city in the South.
All animals are alike in some partlcu-
lars and the brute nature shows itself
in man now and again, let him be
ever SO careful. We should not go
in swarms or all try to 60 the same
way. We fear too many of our young
men 20 to preaching and teaching
Woman is peculiarly fitted for teach
ing and she ought not to be crowded
out by able bodied young men who
are so much needed in other parts of
the field.
Let our young men take to those
trades and callings in which they find
the fewest colored men. If the doors
are not open, force them open, so our
children may find no trouble in enter
ing them. The ield is open and there
is rich harvest for every honest.
